| Decision |
The Lahore High Court held that the petitioner's case for further promotion must be considered on its own merits according to the law. It was determined that no concession was granted to the petitioner by the Government Law Officer regarding his promotion. The court emphasized that the petitioner’s foreign degree placed him at a higher status compared to the other doctors, who were diploma holders. The court found that the Government Law Officer's statement about the concession was insignificant as he had sworn an affidavit stating that no such statement was made. The court directed the authority to consider the petitioner's case in accordance with the law and dispose of it within a specified period. |
| Summary |

The petitioner argued that his foreign degree gave him a superior standing compared to the diploma holders. The court found that the Government Law Officer had not made any concessions regarding the petitioner's promotion, and therefore, his case had to be assessed based on its own merits.
